Three police officers killed, another brain dead in Oakland shooting

Three police officers are dead and another is legally brain dead following a shooting in Oakland that followed the traffic stop of a 26-year-old parolee.

The gunman, Lovelle Mixon, was initially stopped by two officers on motorcycles in east Oakland. He reportedly opened fire, killing one officer and injuring another before he ran to a building, prompting a manhunt.

Two more officers were killed, as was Mixon. Oakland police said never before had so many police officers been lost in the city’s history in one day.
